Audiobus: Use your music apps together.

What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is
an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use
your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite
synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like
GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output
for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a
synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI
keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear.
And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

I wait for the 5 dollar app
But yep....some nice specs. But i think software is on par these days (at least a few ones).
But using high quality knobs on a real Moog is really an experience (i just had one time and i was really impressed).

Agreed.... I think. Software is there, on par, but playing a VI vs. playing the real deal....that bridge might never be gapped. I would be afraid for my bank account if I were to ever play this mystery synth in person.

I always wonder why so many people love(d) this one. All demos i heard yet doesn´t sound really impressive for me.
Is there something special this thing has?

I think it’s a visual thing. Have you had a chance to see one in person? It’s an epic beast of a thing. Like a Jupiter-8 style mammoth. I’ve heard some nice things from them. A buddy used to have one and it was a rabbit hole. Not on my list currently but you never know.

I have a friend with an Andromeda. Nice synth and of course he likes it too. But he says it's too delicate to be trusted onstage - not like Yamaha CP-series digital pianos and Motifs, Roland Fantoms, etc. that are built like tanks and can take the punishment of gig after gig on the road.

Just finished the factory livestream. First synth livestream I ever sat through in its entirety. At the current asking prices, I'm in no rush to preorder or anything, but it sounds great to me. It's one thing to read in text that it's tri-timbral, it's got two different filters you can mix continuously with knobs, etc. but a whole other thing to hear it all in action.

I think anyone who can afford those prices will probably be very happy with it, assuming the build is more reliable than the last Moog product that came close to this level of complexity - the Voyager, which was notorious for the board failures - the digital control side, not the analog signal path side.

I'd like to see a simpler model without the built-in FX. I'm sure the Eventide reverbs and stuff added quite a bit to the cost.

I know they are special items, but, it feels a little gratuitous in reality for what it is.

Same as cars I suppose.

I just don't know if Bob Moog would wanted a day when although the company is widely known by all level musicians yet the majority of the largest percentile of the population will never be able to afford most of the items these days.

I know they are art.

I know hand crafted.

But, in the big picture, when you look at the price and what you can buy with that money to make music it makes your head spin.

Would I want one? YEP

Is MOOG more or less a toy for rich people and celebrities for many models?

Enough of my class warfare pity party.

Looks awesome as fuck in spite of my belly aching.

There are more musicians who make enough money to afford one of these than you might think. I am not one of them.

At that price it seems much less desirable to me. I would prefer to buy a variety of useful things instead.

Not at all. I could sell my piano and own one of these things no problem. But I wouldn't buy one of these as I've got a ton of great mono synths that bring the analog sounds. Hearing the demo stuff for this was actually a bit of a relief for me, my poly patches in Model D/Model 15/Animoog sound almost as good.

I actually think Moog prices are really fair. Fuck I bought a vintage lefty gibson les paul custom for 3k about 15 years ago when I was a teenager washing dishes. That was my first major instrument purchase & I was earning 80 bucks a week.

The definition for a musician needs an update because there is a serious difference between a lifer that put's it all into their tools and craft compared to a dabbler that spends their spare cash on some toys.
